IMAGINARY
EXPEDITION
❅ Special thanks to our donors who helped fund critical expenses us to send us to the upcoming Folk Alliance International Conference in Montreal, QC. See you there on February 19-23, 2025. ❅
Meet Stuart and Victoria, two storytellers who have chosen ‘acoustic indie folk duo’ as their narrative medium.
They met—guitar in hand—shortly after Stuart completed his Bachelor of Music at New England Conservatory in Boston, MA. Together they began fusing the flavours of Canadian folk revival with classically-influenced compositions.
Stuart and Victoria debuted as Imaginary Expedition in Toronto, ON in August 2024. Today they are songwriters and sweethearts who live and sing at eachother’s sides, telling tales in inseparable harmony.With their first recording underway, the only place to hear them is live—in the right here, right now. So take off your shoes, close your eyes, and let your ears lead you on an Imaginary Expedition.
"The duo’s sound combines counterpoint vocals with intricate instrumental work. Stuart’s classical influences shine through his guitar playing, while Victoria’s melodies bring a contemporary edge. Stuart’s use of the recorder adds a distinctive texture, elevating their arrangements beyond traditional folk conventions."
- Kurt Hauswirth, NPR Upper Great Lakes News, Music, and Arts & Culture
"The message is so pure and sweet ... the melodies have a slightly madrigal flavor ... gorgeous!"
